When I lived in RI, I would frequently prescribe it for my cancer patients. I had one patient with metastatic colon cancer who had such severe pain that she was on a five pill pain regimen, two of which were high dose narcatics. Once she started medicinal marijuana, she came off of all narcotics and her supplemental medications. I could tell you numerous similar stories. Yes, it's anecdotal evidence, but I've definitely seen it work.
